How much does an average car cost?

...to manufacture, I mean. Does anyone on here know? In addition to all the development and assembly costs, there's a mind-boggling number of sourced components in even an average modern car, as well as any potential warranty costs.

To be honest I'm surprised they're so cheap nowadays, considering what goes into them.

Wow 6k to build a modern family size car from scratch!

Makes you wonder why the classic car trade reckons you need to spend 100k to properly restore an already extant and technology-free E-Type Jag!
